My mom and dad and I extend a big Thank You to the people at Swedish. You all did such a great job. Much appreciated!
My mom especially appreciates all the great nurses in the anteparnum unit.
Thanks to everyone at the Infant Special Care Unit!

Visit from Aunt Barb and Uncle Bob!
Our Bushwhacker friends gave me a great party Sunday - photos from that are coming up. Great-Aunt Barb and Great-Uncle Bob came by right after the party and visited. This was my second time meeting them; the first time was way back more than a week ago at the hospital.
Aunt Barb and me. Dad had a tough time with the camera - came out a little fuzzy. Sorry!
Uncle Bob gave me instructions: Eat and sleep. I've been doing my best.

Going for a walk
First full day home
Wow, lot's of activity here on my first full day at home. I made sure Dad was on top of things this morning at 3:00am. He did pretty good. Here are some photos from other highlights.
Mama got a nice call from her buddy Amy in Ohio. Hi Amy!
GranTom wanted a photo of me without all those clothes on. Glad it's warm here today!

Ahhh, home at last!
Whew! What a day! My mama and dad, along with Grandma Barb, brought me home. It sure is great to be here. Made even better since Uncle Paul was able to take the day off and be here to greet me.

Lots of news
First news is that I got rid of that nose-tube thingie. I gave it a good yank this morning and pulled it out! Doctor said that its fine and they are not replacing it. Whew!
Second, they moved me to a private room. This is because they needed space for more babies in the Infant Special Care Unit, and they wanted a baby that is almost ready for home to get moved to a private room. So now I am in a private room within the ISCU.
Third, I might be going home tomorrow! My mom and dad are very excited. They stayed with me overnight last night and they plan to do so again tonight. Hopefully we'll all go home tomorrow together.
Here is a picture of me that my dad took this morning. No nose tube!
Grandma Barb seems to like me just fine.

Back to my birth weight!
Big News of the Day: I have reached my birth weight! I was born 4 pounds 13 ounces. I then lost some weight, as all babies do. I hovered around 4 pounds 9 ounces for awhile then started gaining. Today my nurse weighed me and, drumroll please... 4 pounds 14 ounces!
Grandpa John asked for a photo with my eyes open. Dad did the best he could.
This is my skeptical look
Furrowed brow!

Gifts and poem from Sue!
After the morning trek to the hospital, my folks got back home and encountered a fun surprise - a package from Grandma Barb's good friend Sue. The package contained presents and a card with a poem.
Wow, cool stuff!
And a very nice poem in the card, just for me.
Dear Elliott Lewis - Welcome to the World!
You're just a wee lad who's not seen the sights
You've just left the darkness to see the bright lights
It must be confusing when one is first born
So many changes - night versus morn.
Hunger and thirst and pleasure and pain
all new sensations, again and again
Some of them pleasant and some of them not
But the world can be lovely - you're in a good spot!
Mummy and Daddy are always on hand
And grandparents, uncles, friends, family - just grand!
So keep your eyes on the peaks and the far-reaching sea
And on those that you love, wherever you be.

One week old!
Today I am one week old. I've made a lot of progress, but I still fall asleep after half a bottle, so I have to stay here for awhile longer. Mama wants me home real bad.
Here is a photo of mama feeding me this morning around 9:15am.
Mama burps me - perhaps not my most photogenic moment. Hey, knock it off with the camera!
